If you’ve got an old Jeep, or you live in a snowy region, you can be pretty sure that you’re going to deal with rust at some point. I live in New England, so unfortunately I gotta deal with salt. Helpful tip- margarita on the rocks w/ salt = tasty….Jeep on the rocks w/ salt = rusty.
In my case, my Jeeperman rocker guards were thrashed. My rocker guards came from Jeeperman with a black powder coat on them (my first mistake). I learned the hard way that powder coating and New England winters just don’t mix. I think my rocker guards lasted about 2 months before they started bubbling and peeling. The powder coating on my Skid Row Engine Skid lasted a little longer, but wasn’t too much better. I now avoid powder coated parts whenever possible. No sense paying extra for this stuff when it doesn’t even last a year. FYI, if you’re buying bumpers, rocker guards, or skid plates most of the smaller manufacturers will ship them to you bare.

Your wife/girlfriend will complain that your Jeep is hard to get into and is scary to drive
33-inch tires will start to look tiny. Your brain does strange things in an effort to make you justify that 38’s are the new 33’s
How do you get rid of your old shed?….well, fire up your Jeep and smash into it of course! I wonder how many nails he pulled out of his tires afterwards?
